Black/white lacquer on Color photography. MV. 20 by Gerhard Richter, created in 2011, exemplifies the artist’s ongoing investigation into the intersections of photography and painting. This small, unique work features a found color photograph overpainted with black and white lacquer, partially obscuring and distorting the original image. The abstract forms, layered atop what appears to be an urban interior or architectural scene, create a tension between recognition and erasure. Richter’s overpainted photographs challenge the reliability of photographic truth, introducing painterly spontaneity to a mechanical medium. In this intimate format, the work invites close viewing and contemplation of memory, perception, and visual interference.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
